How do I stop update manager trying to downgrade my 3.4 kernel to 3.2?

I installed the 3.4 kernel for hardware support reasons, and everything is working swimmingly.. but UpdateManager keeps prompting me to install the 3.2 kernel again. Is there a way to stop it doing that?

No one is downgrading your 3.4 kernel. Update Manager is simply upgrading your existing 3.2 kernel to the newer release. You will still boot 3.4 by default.

It's a good idea to keep stock kernels around, but if you want to stop the above behavior, simply open a terminal and type:

sudo apt-get --purge remove linux-image-3.2*
